RESUMO
Rice blast, caused by Magnaporthe oryzae, is a devastating fungal disease worldwide. Pydiflumetofen (Pyd) is a new succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) that exhibited anti-fungal activity against M. oryzae. However, control of rice blast by Pyd and risk of resistance to Pyd are not well studied in this pathogen. The baseline sensitivity of 109 M. oryzae strains to Pyd was determined using mycelial growth rate assay, with EC50 values ranging from 0.291 to 2.1313 µg/mL, and an average EC50 value of 1.1005 ± 0.3727 µg/mL. Totally 28 Pyd-resistant (PydR) mutants with 15 genotypes of point mutations in succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) complex were obtained, and the resistance level could be divided into three categories of very high resistance (VHR), high resistance (HR) and moderate resistance (MR) with the resistance factors (RFs) of >1000, 105.74-986.13 and 81.92-99.48, respectively. Molecular docking revealed that all 15 mutations decreased the binding-force score for the affinity between Pyd and target subunits, which further confirmed that these 15 genotypes of point mutations were responsible for the resistance to Pyd in M. oryzae. There was positive cross resistance between Pyd and other SDHIs, such as fluxapyroxad, penflufen or carboxin, while there was no cross-resistance between Pyd and carbendazim, prochloraz or azoxystrobin in M. oryzae, however, PydR mutants with SdhBP198Q, SdhCL66F or SdhCL66R genotype were still sensitive to the other 3 SDHIs, indicating lack of cross resistance. The results of fitness study revealed that the point mutations in MoSdhB/C/D genes might reduce the hyphae growth and sporulation, but could improve the pathogenicity in M. oryzae. Taken together, the risk of resistance to Pyd might be moderate to high, and it should be used as tank-mixtures with other classes of fungicides to delay resistance development when it is used for the control of rice blast in the field.

Fusarium crown rot (FCR), caused by Fusarium pseudograminearum, is one of the most important diseases impacting wheat production in the Huanghuai region, the most important wheat-growing region of China. The current study found that the SDHI fungicide pydiflumetofen, which was recently developed by Syngenta Crop Protection, provided effective control of 67 wild-type F. pseudograminearum isolates in potato dextrose agar, with an average EC50 value of 0.060 ± 0.0098 µg/ml (SE). Further investigation revealed that the risk of fungicide resistance in pydiflumetofen was medium to high. Four F. pseudograminearum mutants generated by repeated exposure to pydiflumetofen under laboratory conditions indicated that pydiflumetofen resistance was associated with fitness penalties. Mutants exhibited significantly (P < 0.05) reduced sporulation in mung bean broth and significantly (P < 0.05) reduced pathogenicity in wheat seedlings. Sequence analysis indicated that the observed pydiflumetofen resistance of the mutants was likely associated with amino acid changes in the different subunits of the succinate dehydrogenase target protein, including R18L and V160M substitutions in the FpSdhA sequence; D69V, D147G, and C257R in FpSdhB; and W78R in FpSdhC. This study found no evidence of cross-resistance between pydiflumetofen and the alternative fungicides tebuconazole, fludioxonil, carbendazim, or fluazinam, which all have distinct modes of action and could therefore be used in combination or rotation with pydiflumetofen to reduce the risk of resistance emerging in the field. Taken together, these results indicate that pydiflumetofen has potential as a novel fungicide for the control of FCR caused by F. pseudograminearum and could therefore be of great significance in ensuring high and stable wheat yields in China.

Seed treatments for the management of sudden death syndrome (SDS) caused by Fusarium virguliforme are available in the United States and Canada; however, side-by-side comparisons of these seed treatments are lacking. Sixteen field experiments were established in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, and Wisconsin, United States, and Ontario, Canada, in 2019 and 2020 to evaluate seed treatment combinations. Treatments included a nontreated check (NTC), fungicide and insecticide base seed treatments (base), fluopyram, base + fluopyram, base + saponin extracts from Chenopodium quinoa, base + fluopyram + heat-killed Burkholderia rinojenses, base + pydiflumetofen, base + thiabendazole + heat-killed B. rinojenses, and base + thiabendazole + C. quinoa extracts + heat-killed B. rinojenses. Treatments were tested on SDS moderately resistant and susceptible soybean cultivars at each location. Overall, NTC and base had the most root rot, most foliar disease index (FDX), and lowest yield. Base + fluopyram and base + pydiflumetofen were most effective for managing SDS. Moderately resistant cultivars reduced FDX in both years but visual root rot was greater on the moderately resistant than the susceptible cultivars in 2020. Yield response to cultivar was also inconsistent between the 2 years. In 2020, the susceptible cultivar provided significantly more yield than the moderately resistant cultivar. Treatment effect for root rot and FDX was similar in field and greenhouse evaluations. These results reinforce the need to include root rot evaluations in addition to foliar disease evaluations in the breeding process for resistance to F. virguliforme and highlights the importance of an integrated SDS management plan because not a single management tactic alone provides adequate control of the disease.

Pydiflumetofen is a potent fungicide that effectively inhibits pathogenic fungal growth by regulating succinate dehydrogenase activity. It effectively prevents and treats various fungal diseases, including leaf spot, powdery mildew, grey mold, bakanae, scab, and sheath blight. Pydiflumetofen's hydrolytic and degradation properties were investigated indoors in four distinct soil types (phaeozems, lixisols, ferrosols, and plinthosols) to assess its risks in aquatic and soil environments. The effect of soil physicochemical properties and external environmental conditions on its degradation was also explored. Hydrolysis experiments found that pydiflumetofen's hydrolysis rate decreased with increasing concentration, regardless of the initial concentration. Furthermore, an increasing temperature significantly enhances the hydrolysis rate, with neutral conditions having higher degradation rates than acidic and alkaline conditions. Pydiflumetofen showed a degradation half-life of 10.79-24.82 days and a degradation rate of 0.0276-0.0642 in different soils. Phaeozems soils had the fastest degradation, while ferrosols soils had the slowest. Sterilization significantly reduced its soil degradation rate and extended its half-life, which confirmed that microorganisms were the primary cause. Therefore, when using pydiflumetofen in agricultural production activities, the characteristics of water bodies, soil, and environmental factors must be considered, while minimizing the emissions and environmental impact.

Pydiflumetofen, a fungicide of the class of succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors, can disrupt energy metabolism by inhibiting the synthesis of succinate dehydrogenase, thus effectively inhibiting pathogenic fungal growth and related yield losses.We studied the adsorption and desorption behaviors and interaction mechanisms of pydiflumetofen in eight different arable soils by the infrared spectroscopy and batch equilibrium method. Pydiflumetofen adsorption and desorption property of soils conformed with the Freundlich isotherm model and the values for the adsorption capacity KF-ads were in the range of 14.592-102.610. The adsorption constants (KF-ads) exhibited a significantly positive and linear correlation (p < 0.1) with soil organic matter and organic carbon content. Both high and low temperatures weakened the pydiflumetofen sorption capacity of the soil. In addition, the initial pH of the solution, its ionic strength, and the addition of exogenous biochar, humic acid, and different types of surfactants at different concentrations also affected the sorption property of the soil. Pydiflumetofen is weakly mobile and leachable in most soils, and, poses some threat to surface soil and water organisms, but does not contaminate groundwater.
RESUMO
Calonectria ilicicola is a soilborne fungus responsible for red crown rot (RCR) in soybeans. Recently, this disease has been detected in new areas within the United States and Asia, where it has been reported to cause significant yield losses. To date, no data on the efficacy of fungicide seed treatments for suppressing RCR in soybeans are available. We screened three commercially available soybean seed treatments (Acceleron STANDARD; Acceleron STANDARD + IleVO; Cruiser MAXX + Saltro) for impacts on germination, seedling growth, and disease caused by C. ilicicola under controlled laboratory conditions. The Cruiser MAXX + Saltro treatment improved final plant dry mass to levels similar to noninoculated controls. Both Acceleron STANDARD + IleVO and Cruiser MAXX + Saltro reduced percent root rot. Acceleron STANDARD alone did not impact root rot, indicating that the IleVO component was efficacious on C. ilicicola. These data indicate that IleVO and Cruiser MAXX + Saltro have potential for reducing early season impacts of RCR in soybeans. Future work assessing these seed treatments in field-grown soybeans is needed to better understand the role of seed treatments as components of an integrated management program for RCR.

Apple growers in the Mid-Atlantic region of the U.S.A. have reported increased losses to bitter rot of apple. We tested the hypothesis that this increase is because the Colletotrichum population has developed resistance to commonly used single-mode-of-action (single-MoA) fungicides. We screened 220 Colletotrichum isolates obtained from 38 apple orchards in the Mid-Atlantic region for resistance to 11 fungicides in Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC) groups 1, 7, 9, 11, 12, and 29. Eleven (5%) of these isolates were resistant to FRAC group 1 with confirmed ß-tubulin E198A mutations, and two (<1%) were also resistant to FRAC group 11 with confirmed cytochrome-b G143A mutations. Such low frequencies of resistant isolates indicate that fungicide resistance is unlikely to be the cause of any regional increase in bitter rot. A subsample of isolates was subsequently tested in vitro for sensitivity to every single-MoA fungicide registered for apple in the Mid-Atlantic U.S.A. (22 fungicides; FRAC groups 1, 3, 7, 9, 11, 12, and 29), and 13 fungicides were tested in field trials. These fungicides varied widely in efficacy both within and between FRAC groups. Comparisons of results from our in vitro tests with results from our field trials and other field trials conducted across the eastern U.S.A. suggested that EC25 values (concentrations that reduce growth by 25%) are better predictors of fungicide efficacy in normal field conditions than EC50 values. We present these results as a guideline for choosing single-MoA fungicides for bitter rot control in the Mid-Atlantic U.S.A.

In this study, the quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe (QuEChERS) method, combined with high-performance liquid chromatography−tandem mass spectrometry, was chosen for detecting pydiflumetofen residues in soybean plants, soybeans and soil, and assessing the risk of short- and long-term dietary intake. Pydiflumetofen concentrations ranging from 0.001−0.5 mg/L exhibited good linearity (r > 0.997). At varying doses, the average pydiflumetofen recovery rates and relative standard deviations among soybean plants, soybeans, and soil ranged from 83.9 ± 1.1% to 99.5 ± 3.3% and from 0.77 to 7.77%, respectively. The sensitivity, accuracy, and precision of the chosen methodology met the requirements of pesticide residue analysis. The results of the degradation dynamics test showed that the half-life of pydiflumetofen (t1/2) in soybean plants and in soil were 3.6 to 5.7 and from 7.9 to 25.7 d, respectively. Assessment of the concentration of pydiflumetofen residues in soybeans revealed acute and chronic dietary exposure risks of 0.06 and 7.54%, respectively. As these values are very low, pydiflumetofen residues in soybeans present an acceptable risk to public health. The results of this study will help to guide the practical application of pydiflumetofen and minimize the environmental risks associated with its use.

Succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs) are a class of broad-spectrum fungicides used for management of diseases caused by phytopathogenic fungi. In many cases, reduced sensitivity to SDHI fungicides has been correlated with point mutations in the SdhB and SdhC target genes that encode components of the succinate dehydrogenase complex. However, the genetic basis of SDHI fungicide resistance mechanisms has been functionally characterized in very few fungi. Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a fast-growing and SDHI fungicide-sensitive phytopathogenic fungus that can be conveniently transformed. Given the high amino acid sequence similarity and putative structural similarity of SDHI protein target sites between S. sclerotiorum and other common phytopathogenic ascomycete fungi, we developed an in vitro heterologous expression system that used S. sclerotiorum as a reporter strain. With this system, we were able to demonstrate the function of mutant SdhB or SdhC alleles from several ascomycete fungi in conferring resistance to multiple SDHI fungicides. In total, we successfully validated the function of Sdh alleles that had been previously identified in field isolates of Botrytis cinerea, Blumeriella jaapii, and Clarireedia jacksonii (formerly S. homoeocarpa) in conferring resistance to boscalid, fluopyram, or fluxapyroxad and used site-directed mutagenesis to construct and phenotype a mutant allele that is not yet known to exist in Monilinia fructicola populations. We also examined the functions of these alleles in conferring cross-resistance to more recently introduced SDHIs including inpyrfluxam, pydiflumetofen, and pyraziflumid. The approach developed in this study can be widely applied to interrogate SDHI fungicide resistance mechanisms in other phytopathogenic ascomycetes.

Pydiflumetofen is a novel and efficient broad-spectrum chiral fungicide consisting of a pair of enantiomers. A simple and sensitive chiral analytical method was established to determine the enantiomers of this chiral fungicide in food and environmental samples by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography tandem triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) using QuEChERS method coupled with octadecylsilane-dispersive solid-phase extraction (C18-dSPE) as extraction procedure. The specific optical rotation and the absolute configuration of the enantiomers were identified by polarimetry and electronic circular dichroism (ECD). The elution order of the pydiflumetofen enantiomers on Lux Cellulose-2 was S-(-)-pydiflumetofen and R-(+)-pydiflumetofen. The average recoveries of eleven matrices ranged from 71.3% to 107.4%. The intraday relative standard deviations (RSDs) were less than 11.8%, and the interday RSDs were less than 12.6% for the two enantiomers. Stereoselective dissipation in pakchoi and soil were observed: S-(-)-pydiflumetofen was degraded faster than R-(+)-pydiflumetofen in pakchoi, causing the enantiomer fraction (EF) of the enantiomers to change from 0.50 to 0.42 in 7 days. However, R-(+)-pydiflumetofen was degraded faster than S-(-)-pydiflumetofen in soil, causing the EF of the enantiomers to change from 0.49 to 0.52 in 21 days. This study provides a method for monitoring pydiflumetofen enantiomer residues, which is crucial for improving risk assessments and the development of chiral pesticides.

The necrotrophic pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is one of the most damaging and economically important plant pathogens. Pydiflumetofen, which was developed by Syngenta Crop Protection, has already been registered in China for the management of Sclerotinia stem rot, which was caused by S. sclerotiorum in oilseed rape. In an attempt to preempt and forestall the development of resistance to this useful fungicide, the current study was initiated to investigate the potential mechanism of resistance in laboratory mutants. Five pydiflumetofen-resistant S. sclerotiorum mutants were successfully generated by repeated exposure to the fungicide under laboratory conditions. Although the mutants had greatly reduced sensitivity to pydiflumetofen, they were also found to have significantly (P < 0.05) reduced fitness, exhibiting reduced mycelial growth and sclerotia formation on potato dextrose agar medium. However, three of the four mutants had significantly (P < 0.05) increased pathogenicity on detached soybean leaves compared with their respective parental isolates, indicating a moderate to high level of fungicide resistance risk according to the criteria of the Fungicide Resistance Action Committee. Sequence analysis of four succinate dehydrogenase (Sdh) target genes identified several nucleotide changes in the sequences of the pydiflumetofen-resistant mutants, most of which were synonymous and caused no changes to the predicted amino acid sequences. However, all of the pydiflumetofen-resistant mutants had two amino acid point mutations (A11V and V162A) in their predicted SsSdhB sequence. No similar changes were found in the SsSdhA, SsSdhC, and SsSdhD genes of any of the mutants tested. In addition, there was a positive cross-resistance between pydiflumetofen and boscalid, and no cross-resistance between pydiflumetofen and other commonly used fungicides, including tebuconazole, fludioxonil, cyprodinil, dimethachlone, prochloraz, pyraclostrobin, fluazinam, procymidone, and carbendazim. These results indicate that pydiflumetofen has great potential as an alternative fungicide for the control of S. sclerotiorum, especially where resistance to other fungicides has already emerged. Mixing or alternate application with fludioxonil, prochloraz, and fluazinam could be used to limit the risk of resistance to pydiflumetofen.

Pydiflumetofen is a new succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor fungicide, and the method for determination of its residues in rice and associated environmental samples has not yet been reported. Here, we optimized, Quick Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, Safe (QuEChERS) method for sample preparation, and used high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) to detect the residual amounts of pydiflumetofen in rice and its environment. The results showed that there was a good linearity over the pydiflumetofen concentration range of 0.01-0.1 mg/L in all matrices (R2 > 0.99). At the spiked levels of 0.01, 0.05, and 0.1 mg/kg, the recovery rates of pydiflumetofen from various matrices were between 84.23 and 105.10 %, with the relative standard deviation of 1.07-9.99 %. The limit of detection (signal-to-noise ratio = 3) of the proposed method for pydiflumetofen was in the range of 1.9-3.5 µg/kg, and the limit of quantification (signal-to-noise ratio = 10) was in the range of 6.3-11.7 µg/kg.

Pydiflumetofen is registered in many countries and is widely used in crop production in the racemate form. However, the environmental behavior of the enantiomers has not been studied. An effective and sensitive chiral analytical method was first established for analyzing the pydiflumetofen enantiomers by supercritical fluid chromatography with tandem triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. The enantiomers could be separated and detected using the Chiralcel OD-3 column in less than 3 min. The separation conditions were as follows: mobile phase, CO2 /methanol (80:20); flow rate, 1.0 mL/min; column temperature, 30°C, auto back-pressure regulator pressure, 2000 psi with modified quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe sample treatment method. The average recoveries of analytes from both matrices at three spiking levels were in the range of 84.1-103.0%. The limit of quantitation for each enantiomer was 0.005 mg/kg with a baseline resolution of approximately 1.64. The method was applied to monitor the enantioselective dissipation of pydiflumetofen in grape and soil. In grapes, (-)-pydiflumetofen was degraded more rapidly than (+)-pydiflumetofen. In soil, (+)-pydiflumetofen was preferentially degraded. The data provided useful references for the risk assessment and rational use of pydiflumetofen in agriculture.

Succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) fungicides are currently the most frequently used fungicides for controlling gray mold. However, isolates of Botrytis cinerea resistant to SDHI fungicides have emerged in the field. Pydiflumetofen is a new SDHI fungicide that can control a variety of fungal diseases, but its efficacy against gray mold and whether the activity of pydiflumetofen is affected by the current SDHI-resistant isolates is currently unknown. The sensitivity of 291 single-spore B. cinerea isolates collected from 2017 to 2019 to pydiflumetofen was determined by spore germination inhibition assays. The mean EC50 value (fungicide concentration resulting in a 50% inhibition compared with that of the control) of pydiflumetofen was 0.06 ± 0.01, 0.07 ± 0.02, and 0.05 ± 0.02 mg/liter in 2017, 2018, and 2019, respectively. There was no significant difference in the sensitivity of B. cinerea to pydiflumetofen among the 3 years. Furthermore, pydiflumetofen at 300 mg/liter effectively controlled gray mold on cucumber leaves (80.9%), and its efficacy was superior to that of boscalid at 400 mg/liter (42.7%). The isolates carrying P225F, N230I, H272Y, and H272R mutations in the SdhB subunit were associated with the less sensitivity of B. cinerea to SDHI fungicides. After establishing the baseline sensitivity of B. cinerea to pydiflumetofen (EC50 of 0.03 ± 0.003 mg/liter), we found that the P225F and H272Y mutant isolates showed low to moderate levels of resistance to pydiflumetofen, and the H272R and N230I mutant isolates showed low levels of resistance. The reduced sensitivity to pydiflumetofen resulted from the positive correlation of pydiflumetofen with the other four SDHI fungicides (i.e., boscalid, fluopyram, isopyrazam, and benzovindiflupyr). These results suggest that pydiflumetofen provides effective control for the management of gray mold but must be used with caution.

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, which can cause Sclerotinia stem rot, is a devastating plant pathogen. This study aimed to assess the potential of pydiflumetofen, a new-generation succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) fungicide, to control Sclerotinia stem rot. Pydiflumetofen exhibited favorable bioactivity in suppressing mycelial growth, sclerotial production and morphological changes, and the myceliogenic and carpogenic germination of sclerotia. Treatment with pydiflumetofen increased the cell membrane permeability of S. sclerotiorum and decreased oxalic acid production. In addition, inoculation tests demonstrated that the protective activity of 40⯵g/mL pydiflumetofen against the fungus was better than its curative activity. Under natural infection conditions, the spraying of pydiflumetofen at 200â¯g a.i. ha-1 significantly reduced the incidence and severity of Sclerotinia stem rot. In addition, the sensitivity baseline to pydiflumetofen was established using 171 isolates collected from various crops in China. The results showed that the frequency distribution of the EC50 values of pydiflumetofen was a unimodal curve with a mean EC50 value of 0.0095⯱â¯0.0005⯵g/mL. This study confirmed the favorable bioactivity of pydiflumetofen against S. sclerotiorum at various developmental stages and its high effectiveness under natural infection conditions, which indicates that pydiflumetofen is a promising tool for the management of Sclerotinia stem rot.

Fungicides have been widely used for reducing the losses caused by plant diseases. Rice and wheat are the most basic food crops, and the potential risks after applying fungicides are worthy of attention. Especially rice-fish farming system is an ecological symbiosis system that is beneficial to both environmental and ecological protection. However, the application of pesticides will stress the ecosystem, and the pesticide residues in rice and fish would be transmitted along the food chain, which is harmful to human health. Here, the enantioselective behaviors of chiral pydiflumetofen in rice-fish and wheat farming systems were clarified. In the rice-fish farming system, pydiflumetofen enantiomers were preferentially attached to the plants, entering the paddy water and settling into the paddy soil, and then accumulating and dissipating in the fish. With the growth of rice, it was transported to rice fruits. The wheat farming system was similar. Enantioselective dissipation occurred in carp (Cyprinus carpio), brown rice and wheat soil, and S-(+)-pydiflumetofen was preferentially dissipated. In other words, R-(-)-pydiflumetofen showed higher concentrations, especially in carp, which meant R-(-)-pydiflumetofen was more easily accumulated in the environment, and posed a greater potential risk to the farming system. The pydiflumetofen residues in brown rice and wheat were lower than MRLs from the EFSA (0.02 mg/kg) and eCFR (0.3 mg/kg), respectively. What deserves attention is that the MRL of pydiflumetofen in fish is not clear. Meanwhile, pydiflumetofen in paddy soil and wheat soil had a persistent residual effect, and the risks could not be ignored. Combined with the previous research, developing S-(+)-pydiflumetofen products will help to reduce the dosage and reduce the risks to environment and people. This study evaluated the environmental fate and risk of chiral pydiflumetofen from the perspective of farming system, and would provide data support for its rational use and risk assessment.

BACKGROUND: Fusarium head blight (FHB) caused by Fusarium graminearum species complex (FGSG) remains a major challenge to cereal crops and resistance to key fungicides by the pathogen threatens control efficacy. Pydiflumetofen, a succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor, and phenamacril, a cyanoacrylate fungicide targeting myosin I, have been applied to combat this disease. Nonetheless, emergence of pydiflumetofen resistance in a subset of field isolates alongside laboratory-induced facile generation of phenamacril-resistant isolates signals a critical danger of resistance proliferation. RESULTS: Our study investigates the development of dual resistance to these fungicides in F. graminearum. Utilizing pydiflumetofen-resistant (PyR) and -sensitive (PyS) isolates, we obtained dual-resistant (PyRPhR) and phenamacril-resistant (PySPhR) mutants on potato sucrose agar containing phenamacril. Mutation rates for phenamacril resistance were comparable between pydiflumetofen-resistant and -sensitive isolates, implying independent pathways for resistance development. The mutants compromised in fungal growth, competitive viability and deoxynivalenol production, suggesting fitness penalties for the dual-resistant mutants. However, no cross-resistance was found with tebuconazole or fludioxonil. In addition, we characterized four critical amino acid changes (S217L, C423R, K537T, E420G) in the Myo1 that were verified to confer phenamacril resistance in F. graminearum. CONCLUSION: This research indicates the possibility of resistance development for both pydiflumetofen and phenamacril in F. graminearum and emphasizes the need for fungicide resistance management for FHB. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.
RESUMO
The conclusions of the EFSA following the peer review of the initial risk assessments carried out by the competent authority of the rapporteur Member State, France, and co-rapporteur Member State, Austria, for the pesticide active substance pydiflumetofen and the assessment of applications for maximum residue levels (MRLs) are reported. The context of the peer review was that required by Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council. The conclusions were reached on the basis of the evaluation of the representative uses of pydiflumetofen as a fungicide field application on pome fruits, grapes, potato, fruiting vegetables, cucurbits and Brassica vegetables and updated following the request from Commission to consider additional information submitted and review the risk assessment. The reliable endpoints, appropriate for use in regulatory risk assessment and the proposed MRLs, are presented. Missing information identified as being required by the regulatory framework is listed. Concerns are reported where identified.
RESUMO
A novel strain of Fusarium oxysporum virus 1 (FoV1) was identified from the Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. niveum strain X-GS16 and designated as Fusarium oxysporum virus 1-FON (FoV1-FON). The full genome of FoV1-FON is 2902 bp in length and contains two non-overlapping open reading frames (ORFs), ORF1 and ORF2, encoding a protein with an unknown function (containing a typical -1 slippery motif G_GAU_UUU at the 3'-end) and a putative RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), respectively. BLASTx search against the National Center for the Biotechnology Information (NCBI) non-redundant database showed that FoV1-FON had the highest identity (97.46%) with FoV1. Phylogenetic analysis further confirmed that FoV1-FON clustered with FoV1 in the proposed genus Unirnavirus. FoV1-FON could vertically transmit via spores. Moreover, FoV1-FON was transmitted horizontally from the F. oxysporum f. sp. niveum strain X-GS16 to the F. oxysporum strain HB-TS-YT-1hyg. This resulted in the acquisition of the F. oxysporum strain HB-TS-YT-1hyg-V carrying FoV1-FON. No significant differences were observed in the sporulation and dry weight of mycelial biomass between HB-TS-YT-1hyg and HB-TS-YT-1hyg-V. FoV1-FON infection significantly increased the mycelial growth of HB-TS-YT-1hyg, but decreased its virulence to potato tubers and sensitivity to difenoconazole, prochloraz, and pydiflumetofen. To our knowledge, this is the first report of hypovirulence and reduced sensitivity to difenoconazole, prochloraz, and pydiflumetofen in F. oxysporum due to FoV1-FON infection.
RESUMO
In the current study, a novel strain of Fusarium oxysporum alternavirus 1 (FoAV1) was identified from the Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. melonis (FOM) strain T-BJ17 and was designated as Fusarium oxysporum alternavirus 1-FOM (FoAV1-FOM). Its genome consists of four dsRNA segments of 3515 bp (dsRNA1), 2663 bp (dsRNA2), 2368 bp (dsRNA3), and 1776 bp (dsRNA4) in length. Open reading frame 1 (ORF1) in dsRNA1 was found to encode a putative RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), whose amino acid sequence was 99.02% identical to that of its counterpart in FoAV1; while ORF2 in dsRNA2, ORF3 in dsRNA3, and ORF4 in dsRNA4 were all found to encode hypothetical proteins. Strain T-BJ17-VF, which was verified to FoAV1-FOM-free, was obtained using single-hyphal-tip culture combined with high-temperature treatment to eliminate FoAV1-FOM from strain T-BJ17. The colony growth rate, ability to produce spores, and virulence of strain T-BJ17 were significantly lower than those of T-BJ17-VF, while the dry weight of the mycelial biomass and the sensitivity to difenoconazole and pydiflumetofen of strain T-BJ17 were greater than those of T-BJ17-VF. FoAV1-FOM was capable of 100% vertical transmission via spores. To our knowledge, this is the first time that an alternavirus has infected FOM, and this is the first report of hypovirulence and increased sensitivity to difenoconazole and pydiflumetofen induced by FoAV1-FOM infection in FOM.
